Opera Unite HowTo's

Getting Started | App examples | Official docs → | For PHP guys → | dev.opera → Higher-level: Uniteness Framework

This is a place where I plan to keep stuff related to developing Web Apps with Opera Unite →.

I am not authoritative or definitive source for Opera Unite. I'm just a guy learning this technology.

Opera Unite is a web server embedded into Opera browser that can run JavaScript "server-side". Basically: when you run browser - you also run a website/web server (called "application") that other people can access. You can access your own application (site) too. It gives you unique URL, like http://computer.login.operaunite.com/application that anybody from any browser can access. It works behind NAT (1 external IP for many users), firewalls and routers. ("Applications" were previously known as "Services")

Download Opera Unite (Windows):
Build 1792 (Opera 10.10 beta) Windows →, more platforms →

Start with Basic HowTo - it shows how to create simple spplication ("wesite", "app", "plugin") and extend it.

If you find stuff that isn't here or errors/omissions, drop me a line: rarestwords@mail.ru
